Intranasal curvature, medically called as deviations, occurs in many people for different reasons in different age ranges. It is the axis shift of the middle cartilage tissue inside the nose that causes breathing problems in the airways. In general, deviations occur due to genetic reasons. This discomfort seen previously in parents or family members manifests itself again in children who are born later.
The deviation starts as not centimeters but milimeters at first, and increases to an acute level around 18 years of age along with the growth hormones. Because researches and studies have shown that nasal growth and development continue until adolescence. Another reason for deviations is accidents in young ages and trauma to the nasal region. For example, falling off a bike or even a minor blow in one of the contact sports (football or basketball) can create intra-nasal deviation, which will require surgery later on. Similarly, this discomfort can be caused by serious strokes to the nose after the age of 18.
What are the negative aspects of the intranasal deviation?
Although deviation is first referred to as a cosmetic operation, it’s actually more about ensuring that the respiratory tract is open. This deviation results in the nose not functioning efficiently and not breathing properly on a regular basis. This opens up a series of problems that require mouth breathing. The patient has problems such as snoring and waking up from sleep at night. Sneeze seizures are also shown among the negative aspects of intranasal deviation.
How to perform intranasal deviation surgery?
It is performed under general anesthesia. Although tampons have been widely used for quite some time, it is not necessary now to put tampons in. It is done with two types of techniques: open or closed surgery. The walls that lead to the deviation are removed along with the cartilages. The patient does not have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Resting for a few days and adjusting the sleeping position as supine are necessary.
